Can I make Buffalo Chicken Dip in advance?

Yes! You can mix everything together and refrigerate it (unbaked) for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to serve, bake it directly from the fridge, just add 5–10 extra minutes to the cooking time.

Can I use canned chicken instead of rotisserie?

Absolutely. While rotisserie chicken adds great texture and flavor, canned chicken works in a pinch. Be sure to drain it well and shred it finely for the best consistency.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, the base dip ingredients are naturally gluten-free. Just double-check that your buffalo sauce and ranch dressing are certified gluten-free, and serve it with gluten-free chips or veggies.

Can I freeze the leftovers?

Freezing is not recommended. Cream cheese can become grainy after thawing. For best results, store in the fridge and enjoy within 3 days.
